Magical surprise hidden in downtown Highlands - really elegant apartment -
5.0 / 5.0
We walked into the loft and were just blown away by how lovely it was. The attention to detail, the decor, the comfort-nothing could have made it better. To be able to walk right out the door and be on Main was fabulous but honestly we loved the property so much we tended to grab a bottle of wine at the end of the day and just chill “at home!” We will be back!!

We stayed at the Watson Barrett apartment while in town for a wedding at Old Edwards. The apartment was beautiful and clean and perfect for two couples. A short walk to everything the Highlands has to offer - we would definitely stay again.

We rented these units for our son’s wedding weekend and all the family raved about the accommodations - the location can’t be beat, the units were even more luxurious and beautiful in person and the units have everything you could possibly need in the heart of Highlands. Sherry was wonderful to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend staying at any of the units at Lofts on Main. We will be back!

Weekend with friends
This condo was very pleasant and very clean. My o Lu complaint was that the kitchen was VERY poorly stocked with cooking supplies… pans, knives, baking dishes and large bowls. We planned to do some cooking while we were there (basic cooking) but it was very difficult given what we had to work with.

Absolutely perfect
We have visited the Highlands several times and usually stay out of town in a mountain cabin. This time we stayed downtown for a wedding. The Lofts on Main was perfect in every way. The location is right in Main Street within walking distance to everything. The unit was very clean and modern. Beautiful and functional. The beds were very comfortable. And the heated floors in the bathrooms were an added bonus! We also discovered a music venue in the block behind the unit and enjoyed a band and wine picnic on Saturday night. Will definitely return!

A girls weekend in the mountains was so enjoyed in this wonderful, clean, updated property.
Would highly recommend

Noisy Neighbors
The only problem was being woken at 1 AM by people who were in an adjoining unit who were drunk and very noisy.

Post Christmas getaway.
Our trip to Highlands was excellent. This condo was centrally located on Main Street and provided all the comforts we desired for our family of three. Owner communicated well with us prior to arrival with an easy check-in process. Wolfgang’s next door was our favorite restaurant! Our friends enjoyed their stay in the unit directly below us. Would love to return in the spring or summer.

A perfect stay in a perfect location
A perfect stay in a perfect location. I’ve stayed in many many places in Highlands this is the perfect location. Like staying in a five-star hotel but cheaper and much bigger.

Thanksgiving in Highlands - 2020
We had previously planned on staying with family this Thanksgiving, but had a last-minute change of plans. I was very fortunate to book this property on a two-day notice via the VRBO app, and the confirmation, payment and welcome/check-in processes couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We recommended this property to our family/friends and we’ll definitely be back!
